TUTOR TEAM
Artistic Director, Joanna Williams
I’ve been circus-ing for over 30 years now and particularly love working in youth circus. I have worked with Manchester Community Circus, Skylight Circus, Belfast Community Circus School and since 2010 I founded and am Artistic Director of Cloughjordan Circus Club. I feel privileged to witness the incredible journeys young people take, and I love learning and playing together. Creating performances with an ensemble of young people is a genuine collaboration – I plant the seed of an idea and watch it grow into something much richer than I could have ever imagined.
